I am happy to say that the novella is coming along, maybe a little slower than I want, but I know that I'm being careful. My fantasy WIP is slower, as I'm spending more time with the novella. My rationale is that absence makes the heart grow fonder. By that I mean that the creative batteries need to cool down and regroup to resume the steady flow I'm more comfortable with whilst writing.
The first chapter of the novella is aboutish a quarter of the way written. But I am committed, until the novel draws more of my attention for a time to recuperate the creative process for the novella. So I will become a flip-flopper. And that's the only time I will, because I can't stand indecision.
Anyway, I'm taking my time to write, because years of rushing headlong into stories hadn't worked out too well for me. So, wish me luck, because I've wished for you!
Great job working on two projects simultaneously! That's tough for me, though I agree - it's good for creating (1) desire for your other story and (2) more fodder for the brain.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
Thanks for stopping by. I agree, particularly with the fodder part, it keeps the brain working the way it should.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people who work on two projects at a time. When they get stuck on one they move to the other. Works for them. I'm more monogomous with my writing. I plod forward on the same project until I'm done no matter what. Some days go slow.
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck. :)
I tend to get more done working on two, as opposed to the one I may hit a slow point with. I like to switch things up a bit, sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! (I'm a new follower).
ReplyDeleteI do wish you luck... I hope you have a break through.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of working on at least two projects at once. It allows me to progress when I hit a snafu on one...I simply move to the other. I also find it helpful to continue reading other works while I write. Somehow - reading inspires me when my brain stutters with emptyness.

How true. I understand completely, Nadja. I'm a self-medicating writer who prescribes dual strength story-writing. Who knows how long until I recover.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you:)
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best of luck!! I work best when I don't rush into a story, too.
